broom corn and such’ crops.
We had our sorghums this
on the east side of the place,
work was mostly variety tested ai
our sorghum legume mixtures suf-
fered too much from the grass to
amount to anything. We used su-
mac, sometimes called Redtop, as a
che< k for the sorghums. We bad
Orange. Red Amber. White Ambe-,
and ®onu badly mixed common
Black Amber representing ths sweet
sorghums. Our kafir® .were: Red
Pink. Early Blackhull, Dwarf
Blaekbull and a taller Blackhull.
Our milos were the -Dwarf ’and
tfee Whitg. We x had Standard,
Dwarf Standard and Dwarf broom
corns. We bad Sudan grass. Dura-
Kafir hybrid, a kafir known
4201A and Feterita sorghum.
Sumac Best t'orglium.
. As tl>re were all in plat®
seed troductiona we gained
definite inforfiiation as to
value for forage. The best
round sorghum this year was
on^ we grew most extensively
mac. It made nearly 20 bushels
per acre of seed and while' no
weights were taken of the forage,
it seemed to have much the heav-
iest yield of fodder of any grown by
us. -It made but one cutting, but
|bat "»s very heavy. We shocked
it in large »hocks.~whi<’h lured w^H
and after threshing the stock appre*i
elated it. preferring it to any other
hay we had. It is well worth grow-
ing for the feed value on any of
our farm® It is likely our best sor
ghum for feed.
Other Varieti«U> Tried.
Orange made considerable hay,
but not much seed. The common
Amber was so badly mixed as to
ha’e no value. I never saw 'such
a mixture. lAst year our Amber
s«ed from the same source was ’
V’ood. a® was the Sumac this year,
which came from the same com-1
pany. The^ Red Amber ' made a L
seed yield somewhat and a second
cutting but not so much fodder as
the Sumac. The White Amber was:
the earliest sorghum grown and
made a good yield of seed and a
fair one of fodder. We couldn’t ;

ed in anv part of the countv. CAN GIVE POS-
SESSION. Te rms, one-third cash and balance io
suit; also can use some live stock as part payment
My list of city property is complete, I have the
